"What?" Freckled nose scrunched up. "You're supposed to know a lot of things. You're an information broker." She teased and let a finger lightly jab his chest. She stepped away from him and gently tugged on his hand, trying to maneuver his lankier form to follow hers.

"I'll show you," a few short and purposeful footsteps would bring them through the master suite and onto that glass bottom balcony. The pool wasn't big or deep. Maybe up to Munin's shoulders at its deepest.

"See?" She teased. "Not so scary." Squinting down, a school of bright blue and yellow fish swam by, beneath the pool's glass bottom.

"I do know a lot of things." More than most people.

"Pools don't exactly come up often in my line of business though." That was certainly true. He could count on one hand the amount of times his clients had brought up pools while he was meeting them, in fact he could actually count on no hands the amount of times they had been brought up. A frown pulled at his lips as he stepped through the door, his eyes settling on the odd glass pool that seemed to stretch out into the ocean itself. "Oh."

Munin said. "That makes sense."

For some reason he had been picturing something vastly different, a pool that used mirrors and lights to make it appear as it went on for ever. He shook his head slightly and then turned to regard Spark.

"Okay okay, we'll go with your pool idea." He said with a small smile.

"See? I'm an excellent negotiator," she offered him a goofy grin. #duh. The fresh air hit her face but it wasn't enough to freak her out. She squeezed his hand then released, it, heading back into the bedroom to change.

"What do you want to drink? I can put in our orders." This time, she didn't close the refresher door as her first get went to peel off her shirt.

But she still changed in the refresher.

"Tatooine Sunrise." Munin said with a smile.

It was an alcoholic drink obviously, and one that was a surprisingly bad representation of the planet it was named after. It had a hard whisky in it, but with a surprisingly sweet flavor that most people would find off-putting. For Munin however the drink had good memories attached to it.

He also wasn't ashamed of wanting something tasty rather than just hard liquor.

As Spark changed in the bathroom, Munin did so in the bedroom.

A dangerous prospect given the fact that if she finished before him, she'd find startling surprise waiting for her.

"Kay," she called and put in an order for his drink and Hoth Chiller. Alcoholic too. Things might get a little crazy. #cray #lightweight

Shorts were slipped off. Then her shoes. She only stumbled once into the wall, losing her balance. A snort left her nose as she tugged on her bathing suit - a conservative two piece tankini. It was dark blue with binary code numbers across the torso that wrapped up just beneath her chest.

#nerdy

Grabbing a towel, she stumbled out. "Hey Mun...," she froze, getting a face full of his birthday suit.

"Yeah babe?" Munin said as he turned around to face her, having just dropped his pants and reached for his bathing suit when she called him.

For a moment he simply stood there like a deer in headlights, not exactly sure what he was supposed to do or how he was supposed to react.

He knew that Spark was shy, and that she wasn't quite ready to show herself to him yet, but he didn't really feel the same way. Munin didn't mind if she saw him naked or not, but did she mind if she saw him naked? His brain wrapped around that little puzzle for a moment as he considered what he was actually supposed to be doing, his lips thinning as he tried to reason or logic out some sort of solution to this problem. Eventually, after what likely seemed an eternity, Munin just slowly pulled the bathing suit to cover his unmentionables.

Was that the right thing to do?

He wasn't sure still.

She smiled a bit timidly at first. Her frozen look matched his. Then she laughed, a bit nervously. "You can-um do whatever," she spoke into the silence.

"I mean....youknowwhatImean!!"

#awkward

Glasses were adjusted as she stood there, shifting her weight between one foot and then the other. The whirring of a little R2 unit broke the silence as it brought two drinks on a tray over its head. She wanted him to feel comfortable around her. She'd get used to....things, eventually.

 

[Munin]

[member="Spark Finn"]

He stood motionless for a few more seconds. "Okay."

Keenly aware that Spark was watching him, Munin tried not to be awkward in anyway at all.

He decided to treat it like any other situation, not teasing her or making a big deal out of it but simply shifting slightly so that he could properly put on his bathing suit. Spark would get flashed once or twice more, though Munin didn't do it on purpose. By the time the little butler droid rolled up with the drinks Munin had managed to pull on his bathing suit, one decorated by comic book heroes.

Eventually he peeked up at Spark who had turned an entirely new shade of red.

Eyes found Munin's and the way he looked at her. "What?" She felt the heat on her cheeks and neck, suddenly understanding. Hands immediately went to press against the red. Taking a few short steps to the edge of the bed, her bony-butt plopped down.

"I hate my skin," she muttered, palms pressing her cheeks together so her lips puffed out. Toes dug into the carpet and her frustrated eyes stayed staring at her bony knees and lap.

#strugglewasreal

She was embarrassed at her embarrassment.

Munin slowly wandered over to her, a smile on his face.

He understood what was frustrating her, knew the reason for it too. There wasn't really anything that he could do to change it, and in truth he wouldn't want to. Spark had her own little unique quirks, small things that made her who she was. Some of them were strange, others were even a bit puzzling for him, but that was alright. He loved her. She didn't have to make excuses for him, she didn't have to do anything but be herself.

Slowly the Information Broker stopped in front of her, squatting down and gently cupping her cheek.

"I don't." He told her with a smile, his thumb gently brushing across her cheek. "I told you."

Munin said quietly.

"You don't have to worry or be ashamed." He leaned forward and kissed her nose.

"I'm not going anywhere." That was certainly true. "There's no rush."

Eyes beneath glass lenses finally popped up to meet his face. She stared at him quietly. Hand came up and gently trapped his palm against her cheek for a moment, her other hand falling to her lap. "I think you'll always make me blush," she began, "but I don't want you to think that means I don't want to be held or I'm uncomfortable."

She'd come a long way since they first started dating.

#looooongway

"But I'll tell you. If I am uncomfortable, like the kind where I'd maybe need some space." She offered a quick, soft smile."And I like your swim trunks."

 

[Munin]

Munin smiled. It was really all that he could ask for, though a part of him couldn't help but think that he would maybe feel bad if he did something she felt uncomfortable about. He made a mental note to be careful about that, just in case they had an incident. He looked at her for a moment.

A second passed, a shy expression of his own crossing his features

"Would it..." He felt like a high schooler asking this question but it couldn't be helped. "Would it make you uncomfortable if I kissed you a little bit longer for just a moment?"

Munin smiled up at her.

She looked at him. Omgee, heat on cheeks. Thin-lips twitched into a smile, then pursed slightly. Her own fingers slid lightly on his wrist. She shifted on the bed, keenly aware of the lack of swimsuit material that stood between them.

A mouse-like shake of her head followed. It wouldn't make her uncomfortable. He could kiss her. #longer #omgeee

Maybe she'd need that drink after all.

Munin smiled

For a second he hesitated, but it was only for a second. His hand slowly came to rest on her hip, his fingers gently pressing into her skin. The Information Broker leaned up, half standing, half keeping himself from falling on top of her and pushing her onto the bed.

His lips pressed against hers, the hand on her cheek gently tipping her head just enough to keep her close.

This time he didn't break away or stop, instead doing exactly what he had asked.

Back curved against the mattress, bony-shoulders hitting the bed. Somehow, oxygen wasn't really a problem. Or, they managed to breath? Her logical mind was really trying to work out that math problem as Munin's mouth explored hers at the same time she explored his.

And her skin was on fire.

#doesn'tmatter

Glasses pressed into his face and became lightly lopsided on her freckled nose, but she made no move to adjust them. Fingers fell onto his bare chest, cold-pads pressing into his skin.

Munin had no idea how long it went on.

All time seemed to stop or simply flow away. For all he knew hours passed, but eventually he slowly pulled back, his fingers brushing against her cheek, a breath finally pulling into his lungs as he found himself completely and entirely lost in Spark.

"That was..." He trailed off as he brushed his lips against hers once more. "...Fun"

From the smile on his lips and the slight spark in his eye she would be able to see he was more than telling the truth.

[member="Munin"]

"Whew," a breathless sigh escaped her thin-lips. She stared up at Munin through slightly crooked lens. Freckled-nose crinkled slightly as she smiled. #intense #hegotawaywithkissykissy

"I've never kissed anyone like that before," she admitted quietly. Pale cheeks were practically glowing. Blonde-strands of hair lay tousled across the bed. It was a good thing she was lying down because she definitely felt a little dizzy and lightheaded. For a moment further she was speechless, enjoying the moment of having him so close.

The astromech beeped and bumped lightly into the bed with the drinks, as if inpatient.

 

[Munin]

[member="Spark Finn"]

He smiled for a moment.

"Did you like it?" A bit of his own self consciousness was showing in that moment. He had asked for permission, and she had seemed to more than enjoy herself during...but he just wanted to make sure that he hadn't done anything wrong.

For some reason he was still rather scared of that.

Perhaps it was because he knew Spark still wanted to move slow, or perhaps he was just really afraid of ruining what they had. Either option seemed to be the same amount of terrifying to him.

 

[Spark Finn]

[member="Munin"]

She gave a quick, shy nod, top teeth going over her bottom lip as she bit down on that soft flesh for a moment. Neck craned as she stole a quick kiss. She propped herself up on her elbows and then sat up, brushing past Munin.

"C'mon, you promised me a swim." She moved because if she didn't, she'd be kissing him like that the rest of the vacation. Bare feet touched down on the carpet, toes wiggling as she stood. One hand plucked up her Hoth chiller. She took a tentative sip as she began walking toward the balcony.

Munin smiled, and then quickly followed after her. He took the drink from the small droid and patted it on the head, as if comforting it...or going 'yeah I just made out with my girlfriend that's right!', either or.

Quickly the two Slicers headed out the door and towards the infinity pool, the odd construct that Munin still found rather strange. His eyes couldn't really adjust to the lines of the water, though he supposed that was the point of the whole thing. His lips thinned as Spark came to a stop right at the edge of the pool. "Won't be as warm as the hot springs."

He teased her with a smile.

His head slowly swiveled, though of course he saw absolutely no one. This place really was private.
